I like the TV Workshop!

Hello! On this occasion I want to tell you about my favorite subject of this semester. This is the Television production workshop, here we perform practical exercises related to TV broadcasting which includes camera angles, execution times of each segment or guides, lighting and set design. What's more, our final exam will be the realization of a live program that will be called "Vacas Sagradas" or "Sacred Cows" in which will discuss the current state of Chilean cinema through interviews with various filmmakers at the national level, including notes related to the locations where some tapes were recorded and the recognition by the spectators of some Chilean films.

The class is made by professor Javier Kappes, a renowned TV director who participated in various productions such as "Machos", "Sabor a ti" and the reality show "Protagonistas de la fama". In addition, he was director of the successful series "Los Venegas", therefore, I consider him a disciplined person with a great knowledge in what he does. This workshop has allowed me to know a field that until that moment I did not know that is the television and how it is possible to produce a television program with the pressure and the agility that that implies, ensuring that the final product is of great quality and so can cross it the viewers.

An Expert on my Field

I have never felt admiration for anyone in particular, however, what I do feel is respect for a person thanks to his dedication and vocation in what is. I mean one of my many university teachers, Mr. Carlos Ossa. I don't know anything about your personal life, but I know he is the son of Carlos Ossa Coo, one of the most important film critics in the history of our country and author of the book "Historia del Cine Chileno". He is a recognized art theorist and journalist with postgraduate studies at the University of Chile. The reason why I consider myself a relevant person during my training as an audiovisual director and filmmaker is because his art studies have alowed me to discover beyond what we see on the aestetic level and to better understand the world in which we live. At first, I did not take much of it, but throughout my career I discovered interesting things and I feel lucky to have had classes with him. It isn't my mentor, but it is a guide for all who want learn about art history.

My favorite music band

I really like listening to music of different styles. Besides that, I have several singers and bands that I like, but if I had to choose one, I would definitely choose Queen, as they are considered as a true rock legend that marked a complete generation with a musical style unique and unmistakable, emphasizing its musical diversity, its vocal harmonies and its instrumental arrangements. This group was born in England at the end of the 60's and began to become known internationally during the 70's.

I remember the first song I heard from Queen was "Bohemian Rhapsody" when she was very young. At that time it became one of my favorite songs, and at the same time I consider it an autentic masterpiece because of the complexity of its structure and the variety of styles that can be found in a single song. Within his repertoire, we can also find memorable songs like "We Are the Champions", "Under Pressure" or "Don't Stop me Now", songs that are part of my daily playlist.

Of course, the legacy left Freddie Mercury (vocalist and leader of the band died 25 years ago) will remain forever in the history of music.
